"Ilya - the one who manages to be everywhere and still stay true to himself"

Ilya has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Honestly - how can someone be that smart, manage to do everything, and still stay so simple and genuine? We’ve known each other for over two years, and we’ve shared quite a few stories. I still remember when we were part of a crazy team trying to launch a project to get a Starknet grant. That’s when I truly realized how determined and hardworking he is - he could sit for hours until the job was done. But Ilya isn’t just about work. He’s a talented content creator who people respect and listen to. In Seismik, everyone knows him as an attentive moderator - he never answers hastily, always double-checks, always does his work thoroughly. And at the same time, he’s easy to talk to - he can support, joke around, bring good energy, and make you feel comfortable. There are people without whom a community just wouldn’t be the same. Ilya is exactly one of those - he’s not just a participant, he’s someone who sets the tone. For me, he’s proof that intelligence and responsibility can go hand in hand with warmth and humanity. And that’s exactly why I respect him so much.
